Do you just transfer the Notepad++ programs you've created using copy and paste techniques; or do you use a macro, (or some other automated method), for transferring them to the conn kit?

[Marcio]

copy and paste only.

If only the conkit had all those nice features and offered debugging from the pc using the kit.

Also, another issue is when people upload their code on the forums instead of posting a real hpprgm, in many cases the code will not work if copy/pasted into the connectivity kit (or was it when doing so in the emulator?), thanks to the whitespace glitch.

I’m not entirely sure which shaggy shoal the glitch lies on (i.e., what precisely is meant by “whitespace glitch” here), but I did create a ticket (on the bug tracker I’ve set up) involving the handling of whitespace in the HP Prime’s programming language. That ticket has since been addressed; as of revision 14638, other whitespace characters (namely, code points U+00A0, U+1680, U+2000 … U+200A, U+202F, U+205F, and +U3000) are now handled (by the HP Prime language parser) as space itself (code point U+0020) is.

With this change, the meaning of copied & pasted code through web sites / browsers that end up with spaces (U+0020) being converted into non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) is preserved — at the HP Prime programming language level. (If the code contains string literals with modified contents, how the code behaves is then up to the code itself…)
